Ren Shanyu fell on the street, but Hsu Fengnian did not show up immediately. He counted to sixteen in his heart, but still, no one showed up. From Hsu Fengnian's perspective, he could clearly see that Ren Shanyu struggled a few times. It was impossible for her to even sit up, let alone stand up. Just as Hsu Fengnian was about to take action, someone from Shitaki-in finally rushed out of the embroidery house, picked up Ren Shanyu, and disappeared into the alley. It was Hong Shuwen, who was neither an Eagle Guard nor a Peregrine Falcon. Hsu Fengnian's face was clouded. Xu Yanbing, who came and went like a ghost, stood back at the window and nodded to Hsu Fengnian, indicating that Shitaki-in had been dealt with. Hsu Fengnian turned his head, and his expression returned to normal. He asked Cao Zhun for the detailed location of Wang Yunshu's family mansion, and then asked Snowsuit for the broken zither that was made for flying swords. He held the vase of flower gall with the sound of bells under his arm, and did not say much to Cao Zhun and Snowsuit. He told them not to see him off, and just smiled at them, which made the two brothel girls feel flattered. The usually smooth and slick little shopkeeper of Peach-Cheek Brothel did not dare to draw legs on a snake. She stood in the corridor and watched the two people disappear around the corner. She noticed the side profile of the gray-haired young man, which was angular. She did not know if it was an illusion, but the young man had a kind of spirit that could make Hwangnam County feel like a storm was coming. Cao Zhun waited for him to leave and leaned against the porch. She turned her head and saw that Snowsuit clearly wanted to take another look, but she was shy. Cao Zhun could not help but laugh at her, and pointed to the window to Snowsuit. The latter was stunned, and then immediately understood. She quickly lifted her skirt and ran to the window. Cao Gu didn't do anything superfluous. She looked at Xue Yi's back. Mother always disliked this girl for not being feminine enough. She couldn't learn how to seduce men, so why didn't she come out? Cao Zhun collected her thoughts and began to think about the appearance of the young master of Lingzhou. Would the Peach-Cheek Brothel, which had always been suppressed by Shitaki-in, have a turn for the better? As for the broken zither and the vase that she did not know whether it was genuine or fake, they were all insignificant small things. As long as that person was willing, even if it was a girl like Snowsuit in Peach-Cheek Brothel, as long as there was one, Peach-Cheek Brothel would give it to him. Outside the building, Hsu Fengnian boarded a carriage while Xu Yanbing drove the carriage to Wang Gongcao's residence in the county. Wang Xihua was the current head of the Wang Family of the Water School. Following the rise of his mortal enemy, Li Gongde, to the rank of second-rank Dao Administrator of Beiliang, Long Yi's Wang Family was known as the "Dragon Raises Its Head," arrogant and despotic. The Wang Family of Zijin, who had always been on good terms with Long Yi, could no longer tolerate him. The Wang Family of the Water School took the opportunity to rope him in. With the addition of the Ling Su Of Gojoseon, the three families with the same surname had secretly joined forces to contend against Long Yi. With Wang Xihua, who had great accomplishments and knowledge, as the leader, Wang Xihua's days were not as difficult and difficult as outsiders imagined. For the past few years, the Wang family's residence had been bustling with people and carriages. Even a few scholars who had recently entered Beiliang had come to seek guidance from this great scholar of exegesis. However, it was still uncommon for a carriage to visit in the middle of the night. Although Wang Yunshu had a notorious reputation in Hwangnam County for not teaching him strictly, the gatekeeper of the Wang family's residence was someone with hidden authority who was no less than a seventh- or eighth-ranked official. If he was the slightest bit careless in his treatment of others, he would be severely reprimanded or even expelled from the residence. Thus, when he saw an unfamiliar young master step down from the carriage, the gatekeeper hurriedly walked out from the side door and walked down the steps to inquire about the matter. However, what surprised the gatekeeper was that this young man was completely different from the other aristocratic sons who were eager to open the Yi Gate to welcome them grandly. He actually said that it was fine to wait at the entrance. The gatekeeper immediately understood that he was most likely looking for the Eldest Young Master. In Hwangnam County, it was more effective to look for the Eldest Young Master than to look for anyone else. The Eldest Young Master was extremely influential in Hwangnam County. Not long ago, an elder of the Ling Su Of Gojoseon had hidden a mistress in a golden house and was blocked by a shrew at the entrance. His disgraceful behavior was completely exposed. It was only when the Eldest Young Master stepped forward that the matter was resolved. Since he wasn't here to compare notes with his master, he was most likely a good-for-nothing playboy. The gatekeeper subconsciously looked down on him, saving him some polite greetings. Walking back to the side door, he looked back and saw the young man squatting on the steps next to the stone lion. The gatekeeper couldn't help but think that this young master must have encountered a threshold that he couldn't pass. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the stupidest method to wait for the eldest young master. In the middle of winter, which young master wouldn't be enjoying wine and beauties? The gatekeeper glanced at the burly man standing at the bottom of the steps. It was a pity that such an extraordinary retainer had met the wrong person and followed the wrong master. Xu Yanbing hesitated for a moment. Squatting on the steps one step lower than Hsu Fengnian's, in the eyes of others, he was overstepping his boundaries. In the cold weather, Hsu Fengnian put his hands in his sleeves and laughed softly, "I've implicated Uncle Xu. Originally, I could have introduced myself and then asked Wang Gongcao for a few cups of hot tea to warm my stomach. But since I'm going to put on a show, I have to put on a good show. Otherwise, I'll have to leave tomorrow morning. The Water Classic Wang family won't be able to understand the sincerity of a Lingzhou General. "
Xu Yanbing raised his head to look at the sky, "You need a heavy snowfall? It seems more sincere. "
Hsu Fengnian said in surprise, "That's possible?"
Xu Yanbing smiled slightly and said, "When I was young, I traveled extensively. My luck wasn't bad and I met some hidden experts. I learned a lot of unorthodox methods. Now that my realm is high enough, I think the heavens will give me face if I ask for a snowstorm in the middle of winter."
Hsu Fengnian asked curiously, "Does Master Liu Hao have the ability to do so?"
Xu Yanbing thought for a moment and said calmly, "That old thief probably can't. It doesn't mean that my realm is higher than Master Liu Hao's. This is probably the principle of specialization in learning. Back then, I went to the South Sea and killed a bunch of Qi cultivators. I obtained a few secret manuals. But when it comes to killing people, two Master Liu Hao's won't be of much help. All these years, I heard that Đồng Thái is the best in the world when it comes to killing people. I've always wanted to learn from that Peach Blossom Sword Deity. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Li Chungang reached the Heavenly Phenomenon State before the age of thirty. There's also Đồng Thái and Uncle Xu. All of you seem to have a smooth journey in martial arts. How did you do it?"
Xu Yanbing thought about this question very seriously. Finally, he gave Hsu Fengnian an answer that made him not know whether to laugh or cry. "Just go with the flow."
As if he found Hsu Fengnian's expression funny, Xu Yanbing said something that was very suitable for the current weather. "Actually, Xu Yanbing has always felt that his achievements today are because of this handsome face that didn't lose to His Highness when he was young."
Hsu Fengnian held his belly and laughed. After he stopped laughing, he said helplessly, "Uncle Xu, you and Second Brother Yuan will definitely get along."
Xu Yanbing smiled indifferently and said, "That blockhead on horseback spear and lance was indeed taught by me."
Hsu Fengnian was speechless.
